Have any of you guys that use hand controlled troll motors used these switches? I have a Riptide 101 which is a 36v unit and want to install a couple of these. The package says for 12v and 24v troll motors. Was wondering if they will work on a 36v.

Yes, they will work fine, though the unit packaging was printed before we had 36 volts and they never changed it.

I had one on my old boat. I liked it. Only issue I ever had was inside the switch the contact plate came loose from the rivet. I was able to get it back on and it worked for a few more months but eventually had to replace it. Im guessing I was putting too much weight on it.

Had 3 (port, stbd and bow) on the front of my old Pantera and loved them. Any which way you turned was easy access. Out of 9 yrs owning it, i only relaced 1.

Thanks Guys, have had them on previous boats as well and liked them. The main concern was the 36 volts. Will install them on the deck of the Baycat this week.
